Walnut Loaf Recipe

Walnut Loaf Recipe

Gluten Free, Egg Free, Dairy Free, Vegan

In the Stay Strong Mummy Fitness Plan we discuss the issues gluten can cause in your diet and how it can hamper your weight loss. Finding healthy easy and tasty alternatives is important to ensure there isn’t a feeling of missing out. This walnut loaf is a fantastic gluten-free bread replacement. We love it toasted with a slather of organic butter.

(We found this recipe on the Healthy Chef’s website and have slightly changed it to add a little more flavour and texture.)

What you need..

1 3/4 cups of quinoa seeds (uncooked) soaked in water overnight

1/4 cup chia seeds soaked in 1/4 cup of water (they will take a few minutes to expand and form a paste)

1 tsp bicarbonate soda

2 apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup water

1 cup walnuts (or nut/seeds of choice)

2 tsp garlic or onion powder

pinch sea salt

Steps

Preheat oven 160 degrees and grease/line a loaf tin

Rinse the quinoa seeds in fresh water (use a fine sieve) make sure water runs clear
